Make in India, Smart Cities and Skill India. Design is steadily percolating in the conscience of Industry leaders and shaping Indian business models. The India design book by CII aims to exhibit the key areas where design has seen maximum development and has greatest potential.

The design sector has been one of the salient contributors in the growth of our Economy, and the India Design Book 2017
is an all-encompassing compilation of everything that is Indian
